Repeating Courses

A student may repeat once any course in which a grade below “C” (“C-,” “D+,” “D,” “F,” or “NC”) was previously earned. Some specific graduate-level courses are identified as repeatable and can be repeated if a student earns a grade higher than “C” but below the level required for that specific course. Whenever a course is repeated, the last grade and credits earned replace the previous grade in computing the student’s grade-point average (GPA). All entries, however, remain a part of the student’s permanent academic record. Duplicate credit hours are not given for two or more passing efforts. A course taken in a classroom format may not be repeated for a grade through independent learning, credit-by-examination, by assessment of prior learning, by transfer of credit, or online or through College of Adult & Professional Studies.

If a student is retaking a course that has a corresponding lab requirement, the lab requirement must be taken.

Since a course may be repeated once, failure to achieve a satisfactory grade in a required course after two attempts may result in ineligibility to complete the major in which the course was repeated.
